Here is the story, When I get days off of work and Theresa isn't here, I usually don't eat "well". I usually have ice cream. chips or some other junk food, I use my time "poorly" by watching TV or sleeping. I had the day off work today and cooked a manly salad and decided to make a new patch for the cooking vest The results are pictured below.

Salad for guys!

​So... What do you do when the bacon and shrooms in the frige are about to go bad? Fry em up! Don't have eggs to go with them but the wife has large amounts of kale in the frige? Grab that too! Kale is the greens of early winter and if you go to farmers markets you can get some from the farmers who have greenhouses. Wilt the kale in the pan (about 5 - 10 min.) you cooked the bacon and shrooms in, the kale will suck in more flavor. NO DRESSING NEEDED! (Although,,, I had toyed with adding some cheese. Just sayen...)

Yep... The patch ain't perty either. So what? I have been told by some, my food looks grey, brown or burnt but they still like the flavor. Good food is good food. I will take a split sungold tomato that is in season over a grocery store "perfect" red one any time. It has been a good day off!
